How Did Fresh Is Best Get Its Start?
Stacy began when her dog Jade, a 6 year old German Shepherd, was diagnosed with Addison’s Disease (an auto-immune disorder) in March 2000. That led her on a journey of changing her own way of thinking about pet nutrition, food, health and longevity.
Are Raw Pet Food Diets Healthy?

These are a great treat for my raw fed dogs. I can easily get them beef or chicken hearts, but duck is harder to find, so this also gives them some variety. My dogs are 70, 40, and 30 lbs. These treats are an appropriate size for all three of them. I am very happy with these "doggy yums" and will buy them again.
The first time we ordered these I didn't know what to expect. I was half hoping these nuggets weren't actually avian organs.
When you get the bag, it has been vacuum sealed. Extra points for fresh bird hearts? You can see right through the (resealable!!) plastic that these aren't fake bits. They're actual duck hearts, raw and dehydrated whole.
They don't have a strong odor like many treats, but there's a faint musky smell to them. It's tolerable.
In one bag you'll get about 40-60 duck hearts. There's a lot of variation in the size of the things.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Whole dried duck hearts are a choking hazard for cats. Please cut up the hearts, reconstitute, or both.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Other than don't feed the hearts whole, you can feed these hearts however your cat wants them. Our allergic kitty prefers them dry and sort of cubed. Our other two kitties (who rarely get a bite of this exquisitely priced treat) prefer the reconstituted version.
If your kitty is sick and needs to be coaxed to eat, duck hearts are worth trying. If it's a kitty that typically prefers wet food, you can try sprinkling small bits on top of the regular food -- or slightly mashing up a few rehydrated hearts with water or broth.
Keep in mind that duck hearts aren't a 1:1 replacement nutritionally for a normal cat treat. Duck hearts have 30 calories (roughly) per heart and are 60% protein. Most of the single protein cat treats have between 2-4 calories per piece and have "a minimum" of 30% protein.
It works out just fine -- I just have trouble not giving the cats too many of these because they love them so much. (If you can get some duck fat for the holidays for a garnish, by the way, your cats will have you knighted.)
One more thing: if a child helps feed your cat, be ready to have some conversations about where the ducks that belong the hearts are. Brush up on your heart anatomy too. Kids ask the smartest questions these days!
I recommend these duck hearts without reservation and hope that your pets enjoy them as much as ours have.
Guess I have to update my subscribe-and-save with an extra bag or I will be in big trouble...
__________________________
Update 10/31/2018: We’re moving and I ran out of these. BIG mistake! I usually buy these in 10 bag increments, but ran out before packing was done. So now I am back to order some more. Still the best treat ever, haven’t found anything that could replace these. My sister has to get them now, too. I spoiled her dogs forever when I they staycationed with me and my girls had to share their favorite treat.

Original post:
3 picky chihuahuas with allergies to grains and chicken. No Chinese treats. Was looking for US sourced and made, allergen free, and found these little gems. My girls only get one treat a day, so I gotta make it a good one. When I open the bag, they are all tail waggins and mouth lickins with tiny squeals of anticipation.
Perfect size - I had also gotten the turkey hearts, but those are too big and I have to cut them up. These duck hearts are awesome, good for them and they love them. Smell is not too off putting like other treats can be, and no sticky residue on my hands. Must have bought well over 30 bags, and will keep doing just that.
Thank you for the recommendation, Chloe Jade (Serval)!
